A husband klsaes his wire before

somersault for which he Is famous.
Miss Leitsol hides her eyes. A tre

gasp, too, as she realizes it is over,
and successfully. He seea her, and
waves. All la well.
"Hut do you know, my dear," she
said to me, and her eyes were ser

over. 1 know how easy It looks
when he swings in- the sir. But a
